What is Air Tightness and Why is it Important?
Air tightness is a test that guarantees that protective gloves provide effective protection against microorganisms and hazardous chemicals. This test evaluates the sealing capacity by detecting air leaks in the glove structure. In the USB Certification laboratory, we perform this test in accordance with the TS EN ISO 374-2:2019 standard.
What is TS EN ISO 374-2:2019 Standard?
The TS EN ISO 374-2: 2019 standard is a test method used to determine the penetration resistance of protective gloves against hazardous chemicals and microorganisms. This standard measures how reliable the material is by testing the air and water tightness of the glove. By conducting tests in our laboratory in accordance with this standard, you can be sure that your gloves meet safety standards.
Importance of Air Tightness Tests
Air tightness tests are vital to ensure that protective gloves provide effective protection against hazardous substances. These tests help to ensure that your products meet the requirements of CE certification processes and also give your products a competitive advantage in the market.
Importance in terms of Environment and Area of Use
Air tightness is a critical safety factor, especially for gloves used in environments where hazardous chemicals are handled. Determining the airtightness of your products ensures that they can be used safely and effectively in a variety of industrial applications.
Air Tightness Test Process in Our Laboratory
In our laboratory, air tightness determination is performed by immersing gloves in water under a certain air pressure and observing air bubbles. This test is used to determine which areas of the glove are leaking.
Sample Preparation and Test Process
The testing process starts with the preparation of samples according to certain standards and conditioning in a laboratory environment. The gloves are tested in a water-filled tank under a certain air pressure and the tightness is checked by observing air bubbles. The results are reported and the performance of the glove is evaluated.
